Refilled the bird feeders after digging out and all the feathered friends are jostling for a spot. Will probably have to refill sooner.

Hot take: steel cut oatmeal is arguably better but sometimes you want that oatmeal NOW, and microwave quick oats is the way to go.

Feeling dejected, people are leaving my org, hiring is frozen, and a lot of institutional knowledge, good and bad, is walking out. It's not my fault, but I am feeling the hits.

Opening shift at the medical library tells me med students are more morning people than I am, although it might just be lack of coffee due to cat feeding at friend's place.
